My Mom had a day care when I was in High School, so there were usually 3 or 4 ‘Littles’ hanging around the house before and after school.
They LOVED ‘Sesame Street’ and ‘The Electric Company’ and I remember a show called ‘Zoom,’ that was geared more for pre-teens, but Sis and I watched it.
“Boston Mass, 02134!” Funny the things that stick in your head. ;)
Unfortunately, Sesame Street has become very political.
An acquaintance of mine, who had a mixed-race little girl, auditioned her for Sesame Street. At the time, the exquisitely beautiful and precocious 3-year-old was rejected because she wasn’t “racially identifiable”. In other words, she wasn’t black enough to have a role in the show.
That was a half century ago, so I guess things haven’t changed much.
